My future upgrade within the next 2 years is a 180G tank. I want to get some tips on guys with tanks that are over a ton of weight in a room. Where did you guys put your ocean?
The spot I have picked out is parallel to a bearing wall and directly below is the basement, where on that very bearing wall is the bearing beam and a column. The floor joists are sadly parallel as well though. The tank would sit over 1 of them and maybe two at most depending on the stand.
Using this picture for reference the tank would sit directly above the bearing beam parallel to the wall shown here.
Let me know what you guys with the monster tanks do! My subfloor is not an option. I want this beauty in my living room if possible!
